Notes

Calcium metasulphite added when heating water before mash, water source very soft (Edinburgh - Pentlands). Initially intended to use a more even pale/pilsner malt split but hadn't checked ingredient stock properly so went with what we had on hand with no stores close by.

Dry hopping into a Grainfather temp controlled fermenter via hop bong and co2 purge.

pulped gooseberries to be added to a secondary fermenter in a muslin sack and purged with a three day rest.

Mixture of 10l keg (force carbonated) and bottling with carbonation drops planned.
